Garage Kept Motors.) The 928 is a unique car that was in many ways
significantly ahead of its time. �€"Automobile Magazine, January
2018 Originally said to have been meant to be a replacement for the
Porsche 911 (although some 928 loyalists dispute that), the 928
debuted as the fastest naturally aspirated production vehicle in
the world. It was immediately recognized as the 1979 European Car
of the Year. Over the model's run, the 928 went on to automotive
legend status. As the magazine writer put it: Even today, it
invokes many oohs and aaahs when one rolls through town. And for
many, it served as a poster child for many people's dream car,
particularly for those who grew up in the 1980s. The 1984 928 S
offered here in black (L700) single-stage paint over rare burgundy
(YZ) weinrot leather interior is a very well-maintained, unmodified
example of this autobahn grand-tourer. Currently showing 82,863
miles on its odometer, the car has traveled fewer than 2,250 miles
per-year on average since new. The car's option list decodes as
follows: 158 - Cassette-radio Blaupunkt Monterey SQR 22 418 - Side
protection mouldings 438 - 8-way electrical seat, right 494 -
Additional amplifier 533- Alarm 650 - Sun-moon-roof The exterior
finish shows quite well for its age; the black paint is uniform but
hazy and faded in places, especially horizontal surfaces. (To best
assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, please be sure
to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying
gallery.) All body-panel gaps show Porsche factory-fit; the doors,
hood, and rear hatch are perfectly aligned. (The hood strut will
require replacement, but the hatch struts operate properly.)
Sheet-metal (and aluminum) panels are free of dents, dings, or
other damage. Factory spoilers front and rear (integrated for the
first time on these U.S.-bound S models in 1984) are complete and
undamaged. Cabin glass and all lighting lenses are clear and
uncracked. The sole factory emblem-the Porsche hood crest--is
present and properly located; the Porsche logo is also embossed on
the rear bumper cover. The car's factory 16-inch polished alloy
Gullideckel style wheels (mounted with Mastercraft® 225/50
all-season tires) are free of curb rash and obvious wear. Inside,
the color theme is a rare and appealing burgundy. Beautifully
designed door trim in the color is complete and in good condition
with the driver door showing light patina from normal use. No
speakers-or speaker holes-have been added to the door panels. The
condition of the burgundy-leather upholstery surface is excellent
throughout indicating owner attention to proper care. (Without that
attention, the leather will dry out.) This is a full-leather 928,
so leather covers the rear cabin walls, sun visors, the center
console in both rows, and elsewhere. The headliner-also burgundy-is
free of sagging; the unique rear sun visors are in place. The
original embossed 928 S raised-hub burgundy steering wheel shows no
significant wear, no frayed leather or loose stitches on the rim.
It frames full analog instrumentation including the 160-mph
speedometer, 6,000-rpm-redline tachometer, oil-pressure, coolant
temperature, and alternator-output gauges. The dash is free of the
cracks often seen on Porsche cars of this era. The automatic
transmission t-shift lever is located on the console, and all four
console toggle switches are in place. The car's factory radio has
